We like the Washington Capitals @ Nashville Predators to finish OVER the total on Saturday at 8:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Washington is averaging 3.66 goals a game this season which is one of the most in the entire hockey league.

The Capitals may have played in a couple of lower scoring games recently, but this line is only 5.5.

Three straight away games for the Capitals have seen six or more goals.

Nashville has had a really down season considering the offseason that it had.

We do think that the Predators will wake up in the second half of the season and start scoring more goals.

They are back at home here off a long road trip. The last time they were at home they scored five goals themselves against Carolina.

This one goes OVER the 5.5 mark today.
